does "top post" mean to puts one's reply text at the top of the email?
People prefer it to be at the bottom?
Yes, because the regular way is to read top to bottom.
Personally I like the new text to be at the top so I don't have to
scroll down to see the new part
You don't have to scroll if everybody clean as it must.
expect/prefer so I can maximize my chance to get help when I need it ;-)
Yeah, because morron like me autoscroll ;) If I see nothing, I don't
answer and stroke <n> key to reach the next message :)

No, I wouldn't bother! (It actually p!sses me off when I have to type my
email address into a form because they've decided to pick some unique

Some of these are really cool. Assuming they are
actually working, that is...
Graphic CAPTCHA:
----------------
Error!
Reload the page!
Audio CAPTCHA:
--------------
There is nothing to click and no indication that I
should enable Flash.
And when I enter the number, I get "Sorry, you didn't make it...".
Performance CAPTCHA:
--------------------
This one actually works. Well, sort of...
Notice: Undefined index: x in

Notice: Undefined index: y in

Congratulations, you made it via Performance CAPTCHA !
Question CAPTCHA:
-----------------
Sorry, you didn't make it...
Arrow CAPTCHA:
--------------
I like this one! Except...
Notice: Undefined index: 0 in
/var/www/vhosts/webbytedd.com/httpdocs/aa/assorted-captcha/index.php on
line 190
Sorry, you didn't make it...
I also get a 404 for "/aa/assorted-captcha/a.js".
I managed 1 out of 5. What do I win?

And maybe your code should check for a circle rather

Hi,
Well, I see a good reason anyway...
U can have a lot of entry points and only one to exit...
Like:
switch ($i) {
case 0:
echo "\$i < 1";
case 1:
echo "\$i < 2";
case 2:
echo "\$i < 3";
default:
echo "\$i > 2";
}
Or
switch ($i) {
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
echo "\$i < 3";
break;
default:
echo "\$i > 2";
}
Nothing says that you can only use it as an option one statement...

Not that it is an issue, but just to understand the logic-
Why do we have to use 'break' statements in each case?
switch ($i) {
case 0:
echo "i equals 0";
break;
case 1:
echo "i equals 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "i equals 2";
break;
}
all 3 cases fire, even though $i only equals ONE of those case values
(if I said that right).
I mean if $i==1, then in other languages I don't expect the first or
last case to fire! (?)
Is the purpose just so one has the OPTION of letting them all fire, and
turning that off with 'break'?
pretty much, all code will be run inside the switch after the first case
found to equate (match) until a break is hit. try it:
foreach (range(0,2) as $i) {
echo "\$i = $i -- running switch ... \n";
switch ($i) {
case 0:
echo "first case\n";
case 1:
echo "second case\n";
case 2:
echo "third case\n";
}
}
Or is there a better reason?

Old timers like it at the bottom, but I agree with the newcomers. Top
posting as long as it's not mixed with bottom posting can be easier for
people who follow the threads. (I know I mixed it here)

It's even in the manual [1]:
"Paamayim Nekudotayim would, at first, seem like a strange choice for
naming a double-colon. However, while writing the Zend Engine 0.5 (which
powers PHP 3), that's what the Zend team decided to call it. It actually
does mean double-colon - in Hebrew! "

My array looks very similar to this. I need to create a single row for the

PHP wise instead of SQL. But would appreciate any help I can get.

I'm probably old fashioned, but to me all that stuff is way overkill. I
also tend to think that synchronizing scripts is a job for the shell,
not PHP.
lockfile=/var/lock/<xxxx>/file
# clear out a lock older than 60mins
find $lockfile -cmin +60 | xargs rm
test ! -f $lockfile && (
touch $lockfile
<run some php>

I implemented my own lock class which uses directory creation and the

and works across NFS. As an added benefit, I'm able to store lock

either way, I've just learn't something new as far as shellscripting goes :-)
apart from the xargs command ... that still does my head in (don't worry
I'll look it up ... for the umpteenth time).
lockfile=/var/lock/<xxxx>/file
# clear out a lock older than 60mins
find $lockfile -cmin +60 | xargs rm

wouldn't creating a dir be better here? (with regard to atomicity)

FWIW, it's nicer to do:
$ find $lockfine -cmin +60 -exec rm {} \;
This method handles files with spaces in them, where are the xargs
method does not (not that it matters in this case).

righto, good to know. -exec option of a find is one I still have to
look up every time I use it (although I think I guess the syntax correctly ...
once)

That could also be taken care of by:
find $lockfile -cmin +60 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
IMO, the syntax of the -exec argument is too cumbersome.

I haven't thought it through, but I don't think it would change
anything.
directory creation is garanteed to be atomic, even across NFS, or
so Rob said. additionally his idea of being able to dump lock-process
related data in said directory is quite nifty.

Maybe so, but to avoid a race-condition, you need the test+touch
sequence to be atomic.

Hello early birds,
I am going round and round the docs and list posts I saved on this
topic... but I am still stumped.
Kindly show me what I am missing. I want to simply send an array of
vars via a post form to my receiving script.
I've got simple inputs like this:
<input name="tmbsToiterate[muir_beach_tmb]" type="hidden"
value="muir_beach_tmb" />
<input name="tmbsToiterate[ruby_mountain_tmb]" type="hidden"
value="ruby_mountain_tmb" />
they post to the script with this: (and this is the line giving the
error)-
foreach($_POST['$tmbsToiterate'] as $value) {
The error is "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()"
Seems so simple, but I can't get it... What am I doing wrong?

Hello early birds,
I am going round and round the docs and list posts I saved on this
topic... but I am still stumped.
Kindly show me what I am missing. I want to simply send an array of
vars via a post form to my receiving script.
I've got simple inputs like this:
<input name="tmbsToiterate[muir_beach_tmb]" type="hidden"
value="muir_beach_tmb" />
<input name="tmbsToiterate[ruby_mountain_tmb]" type="hidden"
value="ruby_mountain_tmb" />
they post to the script with this: (and this is the line giving the error)-
foreach($_POST['$tmbsToiterate'] as $value) {
The error is "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()"
Seems so simple, but I can't get it... What am I doing wrong?

Hi Govinda,
delte the $ from the foreach '$tmbsToiterate'!

Hi All,
For security purposes I would like to upload a file outside the webroot.
I have got this to work on my local dev machine but it doesn't seem to work
on the live server.
I have tried both the relative path and also the full path (from the
$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] variable).
Now I can't get the upload to work and have no idea what the problem could
be. I have also set the permissions of the folder, so that can't be a
problem.
Could it be a problem with server hosting restrictions? Or maybe the server
is setup for virtual hosting?
Thanks
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
dev and live are the same Server/Machine type?
Restrictions on the Folder? ( Group restrictions, User Restrictions, etc)
Exists the Folder on the Live System?

Hi,
Is it possible to have shared memory in the form of shared global variables
in PHP? Or any other form of shared memory? And if that is the case, is
there any form of mutex functionality which may be used to assure
syncronized access to this memory?
My next question is related to the first one.
Is it possible to have a thread running for processing of information. This
thread should be accessed from all the session instances, and it would also
need to be syncronized. I would like to have something like:
jobProcessorThread.addJob(aJobClassInstance)
The job processor thread should work with the jobs in its queue until the
queue is empty. Then it should idle until more requests are received.
And my last question.
Is it possible to let any code run and perform its work after PHP has sent
the page to the user? This could be an alternative to having a worker thread
in if it's also possible to have mutexes and shared memory. Then the worker
thread jobs could be processed after a page has been sent inside a critical
block protected by mutex functionality.
Best regards,
Kent

True...
Firefox holds a whitelist of toplevel domains that are allowed to
display unicode (to see the list go to about:config and enter
IDN.whitelist into the filter box).
It does not allow .com domains to contain unicode for obvious phishing
reasons, but if I temporarily add it to the whitelist, I can see tedds
yin-yang domain in all its glory. Although not, for some reason which
I can't be bothered investigating, the rx-2 domain.

wouldn't creating a dir be better here? (with regard to atomicity)
I haven't thought it through, but I don't think it would change

Hello everybody,
thank you for the huge amount of replies on my question. I believe I
quite lost a bit track on how to solve the problem hands on. To
summerize, there are aparently two ways of skinning the cat :-)
1. Run a deamon
I admit I have never wrote one, and that seems therefore to be the
harder option for me. Well... perhaps not.
I assume it is simply creating a shell script like Jochem wrote, however
I guess it would just take longer for me to get it running as I have
never done that before.
2. Create a PHP file that holds some lock code which is triggered by
CRON every 5 minutes. Taking the example from Robert.
3. Following idea which I am now actually implementing :-)
- Add all emails into a mysql db with one insert command.
- Run a php script by cron every 5 min that does the following:
- update table, set session_id = x on all entries without session id
- get all entries with that session ID
- send email to those with that session ID
- remove all entries with that session ID
Looks like easies sollution on how to skimm the cat. DB might not be the
most performing sollution, but sufficient considering the hard ware power.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Merlin
